Route Notes Five members and three Sherpas summited Ama Dablam on 2 November: Holt, McIntosh, Neave, Robertson and Yasso, plus Sherpas Chhewang Rinzing, Kami Rita and Sange Dorje. Four members and three Sherpas left for the top from C2.7 at 4:45 am while Yasso left from C2 at about the same time. They were on the summit between 10:30 and 11:00 am and back in C2 at 6:30 pm. All were down in BC the next day. Non-summiting members: Bidwell reached C2 on 31 October, but she was suffering from dehydration and the altitude and was on oxygen from the night of the 31st until she got back to BC on 1 November. She left the team on the 2nd. Bohannan got only as far as C1 and was unable to go higher. He left the team on 30 October. Fiori on her way to C2 on 30 October decided to leave. She was not in good condition, partly due to a hip injury from previous months. Sherpas: Chhewang Rinzing, 2/8/71, Taksindu-5, Everest X3 Kami Rita, 22/10/77, Thami, Cho Oyu X1, Everest X12 Sange Dorje, 14/4/78, Khumjung, Cho Oyu X2, Everest X9
